INCREASE PATCH
Nearly 100 per centof such plants
spring from some eyelet, on small.
smooth root growing near the sur
face, la the moisture just under
the leafy mulch., and, while such
plants will lire, the absence of
small fibrous rootlets will retard
growth, and set ybu 'back"1?rdb-
ably two years. Had better wait
a year It you can't get them soon
er) and arrange for tip plants.
This ia .important. ...
Don't think because they are a
wild plant they will 'get on all
right without cultivation. On the
contrary they require intense cul
tivation. Shallow, of course, but
regular and very frequent, under,
such methods as best to conserve,
the moisture, especially so it you
do not Irrigate.
Don't allow the new canes to
grow into the space between rows.
During their rapid growth in the
early season the canes are exceed
ingly tender and liable to break
in contact while cultivating. Thfa
starts a sucker at every leaf on
the broken stem back to the
ground that should be cut off,
leaving only the last one to take
the place, as best it may, of the
parent stem.
t ,The ground in rows Under trel
lis should be well cultivated ana
clean, before training ' young
canes, which can be held down by
stakes or preferably Wtth loops:
Don't use clods for this purpose.
In fact, you should have no clods
to use.
Don't go into blackberries un
less you are willing to put more
strenuous labor on an acre or
ground than with anything you
ever tackled.
Don't go into blackberries with
the idea that you will have any
voice as to price of your fruit.
Nothing we can produce is so
wholly dependent on the, cannr
for an, outlet; but, be it said to
their credit, in the past they have
given the producers a square deal.
: Don't overlook the possibility,
yes, and probability, of nurturing
to a largely Increased tonnage the
berry In its ' wild and natural
haunts. ; A very little work, prun
ing and training, would material
ly increase the yield, and improve
the quality in many places in
woods and pastures. Such pro
duction could probably sell , at
profit below cost of field produc
tion .uudet . the m.Qst,H favorable
conditions. Now,- don't infer
from don'ts above that 'my efforts
have all spelled tallure? Tar from
it. Some or my f seed ell on
good ground," and results ' have
been very satisfactory. "
.Will Nearly Double Acreage
; I, am now experimenting' with
heavy straw mulch in the rows,
of course, and hope for increase
in yield and quality. So well
satlsfl6d'am I, that we will prob
ably nearly double our small
acreage the coming spring. . Jt
has been my aim in this article to
steer you off the rocks and break
ers. .The constructive, successful
features of the subject will . no
doubt be treated by men better
qualified - thai I. Had I gone

AMERICAN FRUIT
The 0. A, C. the Only Insti
tution Conducting Horti- .
' cultural Experiments
The department of industrial
journalism of the Oregon Agricul
tural college sends the following
to The Statesman:
"You have something in your
horticultural products investiga
tions no other institution in the
United States has," writes C. I.
Lewis, managing editor of the
American Fruit Grower, Chicago.
The Fruit Grower has just pub
lished a three-page illustrated
article on the work of the experi
ment station laboratory in better
canning, drying and otherwise
preserving perishable fruits and
vegetables, including the new re
circulation prune dryer. ' The
editor says this story is very in
teresting and readalble and will
be of interest to growers all over
the country.
"I believe you would do well to
give a great deal of publicity to
this work because there is tre
mendous interest in it all over the
United States," the editor writes.
"I have been hoping It will be
supported in a nice way on the
experimental side so you can go
ahead and capitalize the present
building for experiments as well
as teaching."
This new work was started a
few years ago and has already de
veloped many new facts of inter
est about jam, jelly and dried
products, and closer use of culls,
and waste products of manufac
ture. E. II. Wiegand is in charge.
BUTTER AND CREESE

The following are a couple or
paragraph of a current bulletin

journalism of the Oregon Agri

ers have found that quality of
products as well as economy of
operation depends largely on the

"Only experienced men have

NEED
THE EVERGREEN BLACKBERRY INDUSTRY
The evergreen badkberry industry of the Sa
lem district is the youngest of our basis indus
tries And it has already taken a very important
place here as a money crop
And as a crop yielding sure profits to the
growers,
The canneries of Salem handled the past sea
son '2 50, 000 pounds of these berries; 85,000
cases of 30 pounds to the case-
And the evergreen has also a' market outlet
through the barrelled berry trade; an outlet that
is capable of unlimited expansion.
The evergreen is the great pre berry; it
stands up in a pie and looks good--and it is good.
The market may have to be extended in the
future, as it may be by judicious handling and ad
vertising bat for the present supply the demand
is sufficient
CASCADE BRAND HAMS BACON AND LARD
NEARLY HALF THE EVERGREEN PACK
OF OREGON IS PUT UP HERE IN SALEM
The Prices of Evergreens in Cans at the Beginning of
the Season Higher Than the Prices of Loganberries,
But It Is Now About Neck and Neck, with the Race
Slightly in Favor of the Evergreen Blackberries A
Great Future for the Blackberry Industry.
The Salem canneries during the '
past season put up 85,000 cases
of evergreen blackberries, 30
pounds to the case, making a total
of 2,550,000 pounds of blackber
ries. Their pack of loganberries was
150,000 cases; and this shows
how the evergreen blackberry In
dustry is gaining in the Salem dis
trict; for, only a few years ago,
the evergreen blackberry was re
garded as a pest here, and as un
worthy of the room it had pre
empted in various pastures and
fields and wooded places.
Nearly Half Oregon's Pack
This 35,000 cases was not half
the pack of all Oregon the past
season. But it was not far from
half.
Some evergreen blackberries
were also put into barrels tin
Salem the past season; not many;
perhaps 150 barrels would cover
that part of the pack here.
The northwest, which means In
this case western Oregon and
western Washington, canned 520,-
000 cases of loganberries in 1920.
The pack for the northwest In
1922 was perhaps close to 600,
000 cases.
So It may be seen that Wash
ington puts up more evergreen
blackberries than does Oregon,
and In Washington they are near
ly all cultivated berries. There
are very few wild ones in Wash
ington.
Perhaps 35 per cent of all the
pack of the northwest represented
for the past season wild berries
One eood authority says it was
not over 35 per cent.
Compared with Loganberries
The price of evergreen black
berries in cans opened the pres
ent season about 50 cents a dozen
cans higher than that of logan
berries. In the ' jobbing trade.

SALEM, OREGON
Loganberries have gained, how
ever, and the price Is now about
fifty-fifty, with a slight lead in
most markets as yet f5r the ever
green blackberries.
' Prices to Producers
The producers of evergreen
blackberries in the Salem district
haoTthe best of it the past season,
as compared with the growers of
loganberries. Roughly, the price
of the evergreen berries was 5
cents a pound, and of loganber
ries 4 cents a pound.
Conditions at the present time
tend to promise a close race in
prices to the producers in the fu
ture. There is a good demand in
the great pie trade for the ever
green blackberry, and this will no
doubt continue, and grow. And
jobbers throughout the country
also report an increasing demand
for loganberries in their various
marketable forms
And there are appearances now
of a closer organization of the
loganberries, for the purpose of
realizing living prices and making
them certain, and otherwise stab
ilizing the industry. If this ef
fort shall succeed, and it it shall
persist in an organized form that
is efficient, there will be a great
future for the loganberry indus
try; and perhaps "it will show the
ay for the stabilizing of the
evergreen blackberry industry,
when the time comes that wider
markets will be needed for taking
care of the increasing surplus;
and there will surely be a rapidly
growing surplus.

DID YOU KNOW that Marion county has over half the
Evergreen blackberries in Oregon, that Polk county is next,
YamhiU county third and Linn county fourth, giving the Sa
lem district nearly all of the acreage of this most important
crop; that it is pushing even the great and far famed lo
ganberry for the premier place among money crops; that it
is an important link in diversified agriculture; that there is
profit in growing Evergreen blackberries, and an empire
here in extent suitable for their growth, and that new com
ers will do well to study the importance of this great pie
berry in their, schemes of production?

One egg now Is worth two in

the birds go to roost with a good
full crop during cold weather. A
little extra grain in a trough an
hour after the regular grain leeV
ing at night will help to obtain
this condition. It takes more
fuel for the hen's furnace during
cold weather and heavy produc
tion than when the birds are molt
ing and setting. O. A. C. Experi

that where previously heavy los
